Many people receive a few hundred emails making it hard to keep up and heaven forbid you miss that important one from your manager that got lost in the noise.

What is Microsoft Flow?
Microsoft Flow is a cloud based system that allows users to create automated workflows and tasks across multiple applications and services. There are many pre-made templates available from the community for common tasks.
Setup Push Notification for Emails Recieved from Manager:
Goto the Flow Homepage.
You may need to signup and can see the pricing details found here. Note: there is a FREE offering limited to 750 runs per month with 15-min checks and a FREE offering with O365 limited to 2000 runs per month and 5-min checks.

Now go to the My Flows tab on the left and select to edit the newly added Flow.
Here you can see the Flow steps and can dig into the details of each step. I will leave this alone since the default template works for my environment.
